Here are three versions of one of my favorite subjects.  The first was completed back in 2003 shortly after we visited the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, Wyoming.  The second in 2014 and the third in 2015.  A nice little grouping.  Comments welcome. 

From February 2018: “Yay!   Finally finished!  Boy….this painting is getting harder and harder.  The old eyes just aren’t what they used to be.  He still turned out pretty nice and certainly a bright and colorful piece.  I hope that you also like how he turned out and will look forward to any comments.  Now, on…

After that, it will be restocking…
